Answer:

Explanation:

Solstice is gotten from the Latin word 'solstitium'. 'sol' means the sun and 'sistere' means 'to cause to stand or stand still'. From an astronomical point of view, this translation makes sense because this term is used to describe that particular instance when the sun attains its maximum northern point or maximum southern point from the equator of the earth.

When the sun attains northernmost point from the equator, summer solstice occurs and consequently causing the Earth to experience the longest day of the year. Similarly, when the sun attains its southernmost point from the equator, the Earth's proximity to the sun is at its closest and thereby making the Earth to experience the shortest day of the year. Astronomically, this is known as the winter solstice

During a particular time interval, the displacement of an object is equal to zero. Must the distance traveled by this object als
Gnom [1K]

Answer: No, we can have a displacement equal to 0 while the distance traveled is different than zero.

Explanation:

Ok, let's write the definitions:

Displacement: The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.

Distance traveled: Total distance that you moved.

So, for example, if at t = 0s, you are in your house, then you go to the store, and then you return to your house, we have:

The displacement is equal to zero, because the initial position is your house and the final position is also your house, so the displacement is zero.

But the distance traveled is not zero, because you went from you traveled the distance from your house to the store two times.

So no, we can have a displacement equal to zero, but a distance traveled different than zero.

What process is occurring in the picture?
Alex777 [14]

Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.

A source produces 20 crests and 20 troughs in 4 seconds. The second crest is 3 cm away from the first crest.Calculate :
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Solution given:

No of waves[N] =20crests & 20 troughs

=20waves

Time[T]=4seconds

distance[d]=3cm=0.03m

Now

<u>Wave</u><u> </u><u>length</u><u>=</u>3cm=3 × {10}^{ - 2}m

<u>Frequency</u>=\frac{No of waves}{time}

=\frac{20}{4}=5Hertz

and

Wave speed:wave length×frequency=3 × {10}^{ - 2}m×5=1.5 × {10}^{ - 1} \tt{ {ms}^{ - 1}}.
